Recommendations on Ingesting Psylocibin Mushrooms for the First Time in 3-4 Years

Hello All,

So it has been on my mind recently to delve back in to experiencing a mushroom trip.
Last time I dosed (3 or 4 years ago as the title says), I was stupid, in the way that I was looking to get "fucked up".

Brief background:
I have tripped on shrooms a couple dozen times within a timeline of 1.5-2 years. (ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 grams, potency unknown)
The last time was 4.5 grams, which was clearly too much, and needless to say, I had a pretty bad experience.

I'm wondering what is the best way to go about this.
I honestly feel like I am much more content with myself as a person than I was during my last trip (of course not perfect, and always looking to improve myself), but still do experience mild anxiety socially.
Not constantly, but in certain situations.

Basically what I'm asking is what type of set/setting should I do this in?
Alone? With a close friend? With a group?
I'm assuming the dose should be low, but of course it's hard to gauge that since there is no way of telling how strong they will be.

If there is any other background information I can provide (which I know there is lol) to help give me an informed answer, please let me know, and I will gladly share.

Any input based on experience is much appreciated

You might want to check out the Big & Dandy Set and Setting Thread, there are a lot of answers there.

This'll probably be merged with that thread at some point but as you're new and as you might get a quicker more detailed response here I'll leave it out in the open for a while

I think the key with set and setting is find somewhere you're comfortable with. I developed a personal test lately: Anywhere I can meditate and feel comfortable, coming out of it feeling positive, happy and alive = a good place to trip. As for people, I don't enjoy tripping with anyone who isn't tripping, I feel I need to be on the same "vibe" as them.
